Liner Notes

I woke up @ 7:20AM & was like shiiiit but remembered what I read; to finish as you can;

If I wasn’t so tired I’d hve been done with the lyrics. I passed out about 7:50 AM;

need to go over again… will later;

Lyrics

The joy of the new

[INTRO]Out with the old & in with the new; They’d always say.

[Pre-Chorus] Someone must have never told that to Kristle.

[Verse 1]Kristle is a hoarder; Who comes from the South; She moved when her family died; Brining with her; her piece of the pie; Which not only included jewelry, family heirlooms, rugs & paintings and wine; It also entailed cups saucers and the kitchen sink; Magazines from back in the day, red wigs and a funnel cake; Clothes that she didn’t even like; And shoes not even in her size; some with only one that should be a pair; dentures, old dog leashes when no dogs were there; The list goes on and on like this; All brought to a huge NYC apartment. And everyone knows that sure is rare.

The NYC apartment got filled to the brim; Piles upon piles of things she felt she had a connection to; That she couldn’t get rid; It was hers clearly yet; She seemed barely there. Never really discovering herself; What she truly liked or even ate.

One day while she was out for a walk; It all caught fire in a catastrophe; What was she ever going to do? She thought as her head fell; She’d have to go shopping she thought with a smile. New things were never mine; I always had gotten hand me downs; Used book-bags & pencils. This could be fun as she enters her first store; That didn’t even have a sale.

I never had anything new; Been given hand me downs; Never thought of what my style might be; For I had hand me downs. Never thought it would be true; Buying everything from my socks to blue jeans & the kitchen sink;

The apartment was renovated; She started placing items down & stuff in her drawers & wherever else! Her lo es c

Hopefully; we’ll find out!!

The hoarding list sparked all sorts of imagery in my mind. Reminds me of my parents, and when I was a kid their landlord. Where the apparent shopping addiction answer was, always, more shopping. I hope this gets finished and maybe even gets music.

l like where this is going. The stuff may come and go, but the hoarder mentality remains. Kristle (great name!) becomes more sympathetic as the story goes on, encouraging us to adjust our assumptions. "Out with the old" prejudices, perhaps?

A strong start. I look forward to seeing what else you write.

@kwillsen Thanks love hearing your analysis feedback!! I think i might need a day or two to come back to this more fresh/farther away from it; Also, started working on another one that I was excited about; wondering what you’d get from that; waiting to be totally finished to post that one!!
